Spring Forward Minnesota Style…

This year springtime officially begins on Wednesday March 20th. And while those of us in the upper mid-west are still seeing snow and freezing temperatures we know spring is right around the corner. For those of you planning a springtime relocation Good Stuff Moving put together some tips on how to transition from winter into spring for a stress free move.

Springtime is our busiest season here at Good Stuff Moving and the same is true for our customers. Spring is the time of renewal, a time to shake off winter and gear up for the coming year, which of course means spring-cleaning! There is no shortage of online tips to tackle the annual task.

Spring brings us back to the great outdoors…

Spring is a time of awakening in Minnesota

Minnesota Bluegrass Festival — http://minnesotabluegrass.org/

We Minnesotans love our winter sports, no question.  However, after a long winter we are ready for the springtime festivals, concerts and outdoor activities unique to our “Star of the North” state. If you are planning a move or have just relocated to the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area or anywhere else in Minnesota, you will find no shortage of springtime fun.

Spring is the time to sow those seeds and plant those bulbs and Minnesota is in the Zone 4 for planting schedules.  Despite our shorter growing season many of our residents in urban, suburban and rural areas keep a kitchen garden, a practice that goes back to the days before statehood. No matter where you moved from you can grow like a Minnesotan with a few tips. If a kitchen garden isn’t your thing fear not Minnesota is home to some of the best Farmer’s markets in the nation.
